    This document summarizes public opinion on European integration based on Eurobarometer surveys. It finds that support for integration is highest among business owners, managers, professionals, and the young, who have benefited most from it. Opposition is greater among the older, poorer, less educated, and blue-collar workers, who fear effects on national sovereignty. Candidate countries generally view the EU positively, though Turkey is more negative. Referendums in 2003 showed strong majority support for EU membership in candidate states, ranging from 53.6% in Malta to 91.07% in Lithuania.
